Portable 2-in-1 Double Pet Kennel/Shelter, Fabric, Black/Royal Blue 20″x20″x39″ – Car Seat-Belt Fixture Included (Black)

Perfect for cat on cross country move.
My husband and I moved cross country. My biggest concern was our sweet indoor cat. He’s a large cat weighing 18 lbs. I didn’t want him to be cooped up in a small carrier for 3 days. This was the perfect carrier for that. I was able to zip the two carriers together. It’s very durable and worth every penny. It sturdy and strong. You can separate the carrier and use it as 2 smaller carriers or as one large carrier. I used it as a large carrier. It took up my entire backseat and I was able to seat belt the carrier in to keep him safe. I put his favorite blanket and toys in the carrier. On one side, i put a small litter box on one side for him. When I would stop for gas, I would give him a bowl of water or food, clean the litter box, give him attention, etc. He’s the sweetest cat, but he gets very aggressive when he’s scared so transporting him was a big concern. We were able to carry the carrier with him in it with no ease or worries.. the carrier was strong. By day 2 of the move, he was use to the car ride and wanted to be let out so I put his harness on him and would let explore when it was safe for him to do so. Since the move, we have still used the carrier. He likes car rides now so he goes on little trips with us. We will take him to the car in this carrier. When we are outside on the patio, we bring him out with us in his little carrier.Tips for a long trip or move with your cat:1. Buy this about a month or so before your trip! Your cats will get use to it and you both will appreciate that. I bought this way before we moved. I set it up and left it out the entire time so my cat would have unlimited access. He immediately got in the carrier and loved it. He would play in it and sleep in it. When the house became chaotic with boxes and stuff everywhere, my cat knew something was up and his world was upside down. This carrier became his safe zone and he would go in there carrying his toys.2. Make sure you have a pet friendly hotel and take your own sheets, blankets, etc.. I was hesitant about letting my cat out in the hotel because of his fear aggression. When he gets aggressive from being scared, I can’t control him. He will attack me when he’s like that so all I can do is give him his space. When I got to the hotel, I made sure he couldn’t get under the bed and there were no other hiding places. I put my bed sheets and pillows on the bed so he would have familiar scents in the hotel. I let him stay in the carrier for a hour so he could study the room. I decided to let him out of the carrier for the night. He did hiss at me when I got close to him, but his behavior wasn’t nearly as bad as it could’ve been. Familiar scents will help your scared cat. In the morning, I gave him his breakfast and tricked him while he was was focused food so I could put him back in the carrier without him attacking me.3. Take a padded harness and 2 leashes. A regular leash and one with a seatbelt attachment. (Buy it ahead of time and put it on your cat so they can get use to wearing the harness). By the second day, he was tired of being in the carrier. He was no longer afraid of the car or car ride. He wanted to explore and be petted. I put his harness and Leash on and let him explore the car when I would make stops. While driving, I would connect the leash to the seatbelt attachment to keep him safe and out of my way while driving. This made the remainder of his trip less stressful on him.3. Buy cat calming collars. I didn’t ask the vet for medicine to keep him calm because of his fear aggression. I was worried that If I gave him the medicine the first day, while it would help during the drive, I wouldn’t be able to give it to him again that night or for the second day so it wouldn’t really help. He would just just be drowsy and confused making him even more scared being in unfamiliar territory once the medicine wore off.The cat calming collar worked great. He was still scared and aggressive at times, but trust me when I say it was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

So AMAZING – best purchase of the year!
In the words of Stefon for SNL – “This carrier has it ALL…” :)No, seriously, I am so happy I took a chance and purchased this carrier a few days before our planned road trip. Our cats are indoor only (3, 6 and 6 years old) and have never traveled farther than the vet. My mom lived with us and was our built-in cat sitter their entire lives. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in late October and she passed just twelve short weeks later – a devasting loss for all of us including the grand kitties who loved her so much. I’m a teacher so I was able to get vaccinated in February, but my husband (who was a kidney donor) couldn’t find an appointment close to home. We decided to book the nearest one (4 hours away) and make a weekend trip out of it. I couldn’t bear to leave my cats with a stranger so we found a pet friendly hotel and decided to go for it! The carrier is roomy (our cats are 10-15 pounders), SUPER sturdy, has excellent seat belt anchors, a soft, fluffy interior, smart design, velcro fasteners to hold the doors in an open position, strong seams, zippers were fantastic (but I used twist ties to give them a bit of reinforcement in case the tricky kitties tried o open them as suggested by another user). The center fold-down feature that allows you to create one big carrier was simple – the whole thing folds down flat and comes with a carry case. I am so glad I didn’t go with one of the cheaper clones available online. They did great! Transported them safe and sound. And now their papa has his first shot of the vaccine. We’re going to do a return trip at the end of the month. So relieved. Thank you One for Pets. I know that sounds dorky, but in a year filled with angst, sadness and loss – having happy, hopeful moments means everything.

We got these to try taking our two cats (siblings, not amazing friends) on a couple trips with us. Overall, we’re quite happy with the carriers. They’re easy to set up and fold away, and are sturdy enough to be able to pick them up by the handle with a cat inside without them collapsing badly. Both carriers fit fine in our car (Chevy Bolt) backseat (or with them folded down) side-by-side with room to spare.The cats get good visibility with the mesh panels, and they can be opened from various sides and separated/joined as required. We also got one of the associated hammocks but our cats weren’t interested, so we just leave it in the bottom of one as an extra cushion.We wish they were a bit cheaper, but they work well for their purpose and are well-built. It’s nice that they include a carrying bag to help store them away when not in use, although we often leave them set up in our place because the cats like hanging out in them sometimes when not on trips.

Great product for those that need extra protection from pets for their car. They fold down easily and don’t take up too much room when fully setup. Just need another set for our other car. Plus my dogs love them. ideal for small to medium sized dogs.
